I was there too! Such a great surprise show

I'm really proud of this one (It's not the best of the lot in terms of technique, but I love his smile so much )! I'm sure I posted it here after I saw the show, but I'll post it again. I've never had the privilege of taking such close pictures until Hella Mega. Hopefully at the next GD concert I'll get even better ones! Here are some other favorites:

Add this to the ass grabbing/spanking portfolio.

My boys are back. ☺️ ❤️

@Cali_gd89 @Admiral_Needa That's fucking amazing! What I wouldn't give to have that experience. Just "Oh hey, look. It's Billie." No barriers, no security, he's just there as a regular person having a fun time. It would be so cool to see him in person in a situation like that. You're unfathomably lucky. I really hope one day I will have the ability to just travel to Oakland and see a Golden Bull show like that. That's a bucket list thing for sure. Stupid time and money! The bane of all existence.

Holy FUCK YES. IT'S BEEN SO LONG I'VE SEEN THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

i'm not sure but...are you talking about this one?

They're fantastic photos! You should be proud of them. I think my favourite might be the black and white, but I can see why you love the first one. The smile is lovely! Back in 2010, I was really proud of this photo (ft. @Rumpelstiltskin2000's hair). It looks crappy to me now but I can remember how excited I was to get it and it still takes me back to the show.

I can't believe how smiley and clear-eyed Billie is in all of these videos. He seems content, friendly, and like he's just living life without thinking about it too much.

Fuck! I just barely missed it 😭 That's exciting you got to see it though!

What time did that happen? I must have missed it by minutes! Dammit! I left the bar a few mins after 1am cuz it seemed like everything was completely over by then

Kevin has posted a lot on his IG story - here are a few screenshots And from Longshot David

From Billie's Instagram story From Dead Sound

Indeed. Have some nuzzling.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa Do I spot Billie at the Prima Donna show? Billie and Kevo back at it?! 😍

I love your photos from the show

They should make it to the UK, the governments shitting themselves way less than in the EU. That's mad. You guys aren't getting big events ever unless policy changes.

I think this is a fangirl confession since normal people wouldn't still be fangirling about it two years later But I'm still freaking out that I actually took my photos of The Longshot. I've been very salty recently that I've ended up a photographer when I could've been a pilot, but then I fangirl over things I've had the privilege of photographing and I'm glad I can still get excited about it. This is a photo I took at my first Green Day show: And this is from my last Longshot show: Anyone else want to share a photo they've taken that they still fangirl over? I'd love to see them

That was my first thought when I saw it on him too. Plus it was warm inside the bar 😄

It occurred to me that Billie was wearing a scarf in mid 50s weather. That boy would not be able to handle a Chicago winter.

Can we talk about his cute-ass curls tho 😍

Here you go (scarf pic)

@solongfromthestars @Rumpelstiltskin2000 Y'all are the best! I always know I can count on you.

According to the timestamp on my camera, they started at 1:15am, and went on until 2am!

I think he took his scarf off halfway through the night. It looked adorable though. I was hoping for scarf pics because mine aren't very good. He wore a mask most of the time but I noticed when he took it off that's when people recognized him more and were asking for pics

Remember, if you run into Billie Joe, put aside all your fandom and really hound him about the next studio album. don't let him give you some vague, secretive bs. Month. Date. Year. Otherwise, I don't give a darn anyway. Let the date go, let the date go, let the date gooooo. Just kidding guys. Do your whole nervous yet polite fan thing.

Last night he was wearing a scarf and omg he looked so cute in it. I may or may not have been watching him in the crowd slightly more than watching Prima Donna on stage... 😁

I had a dream that I saw a new never-before-seen pic of Billie looking cute af, and I was gonna share it here but I kept getting sidetracked and then woke up before I got the chance to post it. Now I feel like I've let y'all down even tho it was a fucking dream and y'all wouldn't have actually seen the (non-existent irl) pic anyway

I wasn't that surprised he was there either, but still secretly freaked out when standing at the bar and all of the sudden he's right next to me 🤯 He seemed to be having a good time in the crowd, sometimes dancing along to songs and being adorable as ever

I’m not at all surprised Billie was there, would almost have bet on it, but really delighted to see him all the same!

Hey, look everyone! It's a cute pic of Billie smiling! Let's talk about that now and not whatever is happening? Please?

In my opinion that's unhealthy. Sorry

Yes Kevin was dressed as Santa. So cute 😄

I'm sad that the best picture from that Helsinki show in 2013 is long gone on the internet (or atleast my search skills are). Green Day posted some tour pics on Facebook right after the show, I downloaded the best one (camera was behind Billie and on picture you could see the crowd aswell), had it for years, lost it and now I can't find it fucking anywhere. Shame, such a good fucking picture it was.

clip starts at 12:24

I managed to ask my friend on Tumblr which video the first one was from and it's here

You'll make it to a show one day and it'll be amazing! My dissertation was for my bachelor's degree which is in photography, so I could just about get away with writing about fame since photography is media. I'm doing another degree in planetary science now and hoping to get to PhD level in that. That'd be almost as good as my pilot dream.

Thanks! I was so incredibly excited. The jam session must have happened after the crowd left the bar. Didn't see any of that unfortunately. No other GD members were there

Wow, think I would have freaked, so envious of you!

I'm not sure about the first one but I think the second is from Adelaide in 2014. This may not be that specific video though. If it wasn't Adelaide, it was Perth The band all looked great on that leg of the tour! Actually, they looked great for most of the 99 Revolutions Tour.

Holy fucking shit you guys Billie is here at the show! Literally two feet from me. Just watching the show. Mingling. Wearing a mask but I can see the beard

Anyway here's a nice photo of Billie

She hasn't been to "hundreds" of shows and she certainly doesn't do it to be "noticed" by him. Attending public events because you like music (because believe it or not, it is possible to just enjoy a band's music) is very, very different to buying something because you see a cute photo of someone and want them to notice and feel appreciated by you. If you think everyone goes to gigs because they want to be noticed, that says more about you than it does about them. Sorry if this sounds personal but your post was an outright nasty, petty and personal attack over something you've assumed about someone you've never met and have hardly spoken to (in contrast to you openly stating how you feel about Billie being on Instagram). In regards to bands needing their fans, they'll still have me and thousands (or millions, even) of others like me because yes, there are people who actually want the main product, music and don't expect anything else. As I said before, bands had fans and fans loved bands without social media or any means of personal conncetions in the past and they'll manage in the future.

Just because sometimes people are obligated to (which they would choose whether to agree to or not) doesn't mean he is or should be. Just because it's enjoyable for us it doesn't mean he has to. Whatever his motivations for doing it, we're not owed him doing it. If he doesn't want to post on instagram he doesn't have to and we're not being stiffed of anything if he doesn't. It's a bonus not something owed. That's all I'm saying.
